APRIL 10 2016
I have very long and detailed dreams, and I decided I need to start writing them down. Usually they blow my mind at how elaborate and meaningful they are, but then I rush off to work and forget them and can’t ever remember them.
So last night, my dream, I only remember parts of it, but I will share.
We were home but the house was slightly different than our actual house, it had the same carpeted stairway, but it also had wood paneling, and one of my friends lived there with her baby in addition to both my parents, my brother, my grandpa, and me and Jake. well Jake got out of the shower and was walking around naked, checking laundry, and in the kitchen making coffee. He went in our bedroom and I went in there and started going ballistic about why in the world was he walking around naked with all these people around! He was just like “oh.” (this type of response happens a lot in real life.) And then after I went on and on about it he got super guilty and wanted to go apologize to everyone (also happens a lot) and I was telling him I don’t think anyone saw and just play it cool but what in the sam is wrong with him and why would he do this. (this reminds me of 90% of our conversations in real life.)
Then I went to walk down the stairs and saw a baby there and realized my friend had went to work and left her baby, it was climbing and it started crying when it saw me so I picked it up and through my tank top it latched on to my breast with its mouth and stopped crying. It was actually the baby I saw in a video the other day singing I love you with its mom, I will try to attach that video, it had these adorable eyes. I remember thinking that it was a magical moment and being so disappointed that I hadn’t had any babies or kids yet.
Next I went to a “makeover” type of event, and it seemed unorganized and random when I got there. The lady said she had called me for a job interview and I said I wasn’t available but I didn’t remember any of this. I proceeded to try to use some special mascara she had and it made my lashes really long but the brush was really clumpy and I didn’t put on any other makeup I was sitting in a chair digging through a box of old makeup while the woman stared at me looking irritated and I was using a smeary mirror on an old eyeshadow pallet and could barely see what I was doing. I thought what am I even doing here? (I don’t usually wear makeup, and it is not a priority for me, so I felt dumb and like I was wasting time, and that this isn’t me!) Then I asked her how to get rid of under eye circles and she kept acting like she didn’t understand what I was saying, she thought I was talking about mascara under my eyes, she had bright brown skin with no under eye circles. I then realized from some “vibes” that this was a recruitment scheme for insecure people to get lured into adult film opportunities and sex work. They told me the event was over and asked me to leave. So I did.
I was walking out into the street in the middle of the city and it was both extremely sunny and extremely dark at the same time. I looked up and saw off in the distance some small white birds, they were huge, bigger than airplanes, but they were far away, and they weren’t regular birds, they had a magical look and feel about them, and they were white, but somehow made of light. That is the only way I can describe them, bright, huge, and made of light. I was not afraid of them at all, I thought they were beautiful and I felt confidence that this was the end of the world and Earth just by looking at them but I was at peace and not panicked.
People around me saw the weather and the birds and started scurrying off in different directions, most were panicked, it reminded me of one of those movie scenes where everyone is panicked but there is one person just looking at the sky and not moving, I was that person. I tried to communicate that this was the end to others but nobody listened everyone was just hustling to get somewhere.
There were 3 birds, flying in a V formation with one bird in front, and two beside each other behind the first bird. The birds didn’t have legs or feet showing or anything, WOW I just realized that they looked kind of like birds that I paint!
So the birds got closer while I was trying to tell others “Jesus is coming”, and I remember thinking, wow, I am definitely gonna be THAT crazy person if this turns out to NOT be Jesus. But I shook that off and was like no Stephanie, this is Jesus, and they NEED TO KNOW. So I kept telling them “Y’all, seriously, THIS IS THE END!, JESUS IS HERE!” The birds scooped us up, it was like they slid underneath everyone and then we were all on them riding. We were standing, but didn’t need balance and weren’t holding onto anything. So we were soaring in the sky, out of the city, and people were freaking out that we were on a bird and what is happening and stuff, we were flying toward the sun when all of the sudden we started going downward, toward the sea (This part kind of reminded me of Seattle, even though I have only been there once) and everyone started screaming and talking and panicking while we headed straight toward the sea.
I started yelling out at the top of my lungs “WE WILL ALL BE SAVED IN JESUS HOLY NAME!” and “LORD SAVE THESE PEOPLE, ALL OF THEM, HAVE MERCY ON ALL OF OUR SOULS!” “HELP US LORD HELP US, SAVE US IN JESUS NAME!” and the bird gradually started lifting up and then every one else started crying out to Jesus saying sorry, and forgive me, and help me Jesus, and I believe in you Jesus. It was a very powerful moment. and The bird kept lifting and then we were flying parallel to the sea and then everyone started praising Jesus for not plunging us into the ocean and we were praising at the top of our lungs and the bird started soaring up towards the clouds and sun. Everyone was cheering and honestly, if I ever went to a church like that it would be magical, because these people were desperately, hopelessly, thankfully, praising Jesus and it was awesome.
So then we went up through the clouds and we saw huge sparkling gold gates and I started cheering and I was so excited. The gates opened and we flew into heaven. I knew it was heaven and I was thrilled. Once we got inside the gates the birds vanished and we were just walking around and there was clouds everywhere. It was truly the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and I beg God to help me remember it and to help me to be able to paint it!!! I would LOVE TO PAINT IT. a million different times.
Here are some real galaxy pictures I saw that reminded me of my dream
THIS ONE IS VERY CLOSE TO WHAT I SAW!!! : )

So heaven had big beautiful white clouds everywhere and the backdrop of the clouds was galaxies! Ill attach some pictures that look similar to what I saw, if i find any. So you could see twinkly stars and galaxies all around you and it was glorious! It was flat where we came into heaven but there were huge green and beautiful mountains in the distance, and there was water and plants everywhere. Now thinking about it kind of reminds me of the Candy Land in wreck-it Ralph, but not a cartoon, it was like all the beautiful adventure nature travel pictures you see of people adventuring on instagram, no filters needed, and all rolled into one place.
If there are places this beautiful on Earth, can you imagine HEAVEN?!?!?!

So I was peacefully and happily walking down a little path, it was made of gold pebbles I think? Anyway, guess who walked up to me?!?
JESUS
He looked like the pictures you always see but he was so much more BEAUTIFUL.
He had long brown hair, tan skin, and brown eyes, and he handed me (unbelievable) and Iced almond milk latte. I remember being SO PLEASED with this. His glorious handsome self handed me the latte and said “Hey.”in such a comfortable way like we were the best of friends and he had been waiting for me. (Thinking about this brings a tear!)
The latte was exactly how I would want it, it was in a plain clear cup like you see at neighborhood coffee shops, except it was glass! with no lid and a glass straw, and it had honey drizzled inside and on top just how I love it. I remember it was so creamy and delightful when I took a sip, almost like cashew milk and almond milk combined, and it was so crisp and fresh tasting I remember having the thought that I was truly enjoying a latte for the first time ever.
Some time before that I had the thought when I first walked in that the end of the world truly is fending for yourself because I had no idea where Jake was. But I wasn’t worried about him I remember feeling at peace with where I was and wondering how it had worked out for him.
But after I was sipping the latte, Jake was behind me and made some corny joke like he always does about how the best thing about heaven is that you don’t have to order your coffee they just know what you want and hand it to you.
Then later on I was sitting on a mountain top with one of my best friends (same friend from earlier) and she was saying “What is your favorite thing about heaven?” We were sitting under the huge galaxies and we just sighed and then laid back in silence and looked up at the twinkling stars and planets. And then my alarm went off (whimpering dog) and I woke up.
(I am starting to think all of the things I paint that come from my heart and soul and back corners of my mind are actually REAL-HEAVEN!!!)
Also my dream was similar to artwork I have always been drawn to- think Thomas Kinkade : )
Tried to tell my husband about it but got frustrated because he kept falling asleep (typical) but the parts he heard he thought were cool. (like hello? I went to heaven last night! There is nothing more interesting I could be saying right now! pay attention!) That actually inspired me to write everything down that I could remember so I didn’t forget about it an hour later… So there’s my dream. Enjoy. : )
I didn’t look at a lot of pictures because I didn’t want the pictures and thoughts of others to cloud out what I saw in my dream but there were several times in the week where I saw pictures that reminded me of my dream and I thought I would attach them so you could get a little bit of the vibe… : )
One day i’ll stand before you
And look back on the life I’ve lived
I can’t wait to enjoy the view
And see how all the pieces fit
One day I’ll stand before you and
Look back on the life I’ve lived
I can’t wait to enjoy the view
And see how all the pieces fit
One day I’ll stand before you
Look back on the life I’ve lived
Cause You’re already there
You’re already there
When I’m lost in the mystery
To you my future is a memory
Cause you’re already there
Already there
Standing at the end of my life
Waiting on the other side
And you’re already there
You’re already thereYou’re already there
(casting crowns!)
THIS SONG CAME ON WHILE WRITING THIS POST!
LOVE IT!
